    Casa Camuzzi[edit]By the time Hesse returned to civilian life in 1919, his marriage had shattered.His wife had a severe episode of psychosis, but, even after her recovery, Hessesaw no possible future with her. Their home in Bern was divided, their childrenwere accommodated in pensions and by relatives,[35] and Hesse resettled alone in the middle of April in Ticino. He occupied a small farm house near Minusio (close to Locarno), living from 25 April to 11 May in Sorengo. On 11 May, he movedto the town Montagnola and rented four small rooms in a castle-like building, the Casa Camuzzi. Here, he explored his writing projects further; he began to paint, an activity reflected in his next major story, "Klingsor's Last Summer", published in 1920. This new beginning in different surroundings brought him happiness, and Hesse later called his first year in Ticino the fullest, most prolific, most industrious and most passionate time of my life.[36] In 1922, Hesse's novella Siddhartha appeared, which showed the love for Indian culture and Buddhist philosophy that had already developed earlier in his life. In 1924, Hesse married the singer Ruth Wenger, the daughter of the Swiss writer Lisa Wenger and aunt ofMret Oppenheim. This marriage never attained any stability, however.

    In 1923, Hesse received Swiss citizenship. His next major works, Kurgast (1925)and The Nuremberg Trip (1927), were autobiographical narratives with ironic undertones and foreshadowed Hesse's following novel, Hesse referred to his novels as"Biographies of the Soul" Steppenwolf, which was published in 1927. In the year

    of his 50th birthday, the first biography of Hesse appeared, written by his friend Hugo Ball. Shortly after his new successful novel, he turned away from the solitude of Steppenwolf and married art historian Ninon Dolbin, ne Auslnder. This change to companionship was reflected in the novel Narcissus and Goldmund, appearing in 1930. In 1931, Hesse left the Casa Camuzzi and moved with Ninon to a large house (Casa Hesse) near Montagnola, which was built according to his wishes.

    In 1931, Hesse began planning what would become his last major work, The Glass Bead Game (aka Magister Ludi). In 1932, as a preliminary study, he released the novella Journey to the East. The Glass Bead Game was printed in 1943 in Switzerland. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946

    In his time, Hesse was a popular and influential author in the German-speaking world; worldwide fame only came later. Hesse's first great novel, Peter Camenzind, was received enthusiastically by young Germans desiring a different and more "natural" way of life at the time of great economic and technological progress in

    the country (see also Wandervogel movement).[39] Demian had a strong and enduring influence on the generation of home-returners from the First World War.;[40]similarly, The Glass Bead Game, with its disciplined intellectual world of Castalia and the powers of mediation and humanity, captivated Germans' longing for anew order amid the chaos of a broken nation following the loss in Second World War.[41]

    In the 1950s, Hesse's popularity began to wane, while literature critics and intellectuals turned their attention to other subjects. In 1965, the sales of Hesse's books by his publisher Suhrkamp reached an all-time low. However, after Hesse

    's death in 1962, posthumously published writings, including letters and previously unknown pieces of prose, contributed to a new level of understanding and appreciation of his works.[42]

    By the time of Hesse's death in 1962, his works were still relatively unknown inthe United States. A memorial published in the New York Times went so far as toclaim that Hesse's works were largely "inaccessible" for American readers. Thesituation changed in the mid-1960s, when Hesse's works suddenly became bestsellers in the United States.[43] The revival in popularity of Hesse's works has beencredited to their association with some of the popular themes of the 1960s counterculture (or hippie) movement. In particular, the quest-for-enlightenment theme of Siddhartha, Journey to the East, and Narcissus and Goldmund resonated withthose espousing counter-cultural ideals. The "magic theatre" sequences in Steppenwolf were interpreted by some as drug-induced psychedelia, although there is noevidence that Hesse ever took psychedelic drugs or recommended their use.[44] To a large part, the causes of the Hesse-Boom in the United States can be tracedback to enthusiastic writings by two influential counter-culture figures: ColinWilson and Timothy Leary.[45] From the United States, the Hesse renaissance spread to other parts of the world, and even back to Germany: more than 800,000 copies were sold in the German-speaking world in 19721973. In a space of just a few years, Hesse became the most widely read and translated European author of the 20th century.[43] Hesse was especially popular among young readers, a tendency which continues today.[46]

    There is a quote from Demian on the cover of Santana's 1970 album Abraxas, revealing the source of the album's title.

    Hesse's Siddhartha is one of the most popular Western novels set in India. An authorized translation of Siddhartha was published in the Malayalam language in 1990, the language that surrounded Hesse's grandfather, Hermann Gundert, for mostof his life. A Hermann Hesse Society of India has also been formed. It aims to bring out authentic translations of Siddhartha in all Indian languages and has already prepared the Sanskrit translation of Siddhartha.[citation needed]

    One enduring monument to Hesse's lasting popularity in the United States is theMagic Theatre in San Francisco. Referring to "The Magic Theatre for Madmen Only"in Steppenwolf (a kind of spiritual and somewhat nightmarish cabaret attended b

    y some of the characters, including Harry Haller), the Magic Theatre was foundedin 1967 to perform works by new playwrights. Founded by John Lion, the Magic Theatre has fulfilled that mission for many years, including the world premieres of many plays by Sam Shepard.

    There is also a theater in Chicago named after the novel, Steppenwolf Theater.

    Throughout Germany, many schools are named after him. In 1964, the Calwer Hermann-Hesse-Preis was founded, which is awarded every two years, alternately to a German-language literary journal or to the translator of Hesse's work to a foreignlanguage.[47] There is also a Hermann Hesse prize associated with the city of Karlsruhe.[48]

Thesituation changed in the mid-1960s, when Hesse's works suddenly became bestsellers in the United States.[43] The revival in popularity of Hesse's works has beencredited to their association with some of the popular themes of the 1960s counterculture (or hippie) movement. In particular, the quest-for-enlightenment theme of Siddhartha, Journey to the East, and Narcissus and Goldmund resonated withthose espousing counter-cultural ideals. The "magic theatre" sequences in Steppenwolf were interpreted by some as drug-induced psychedelia, although there is noevidence that Hesse ever took psychedelic drugs or recommended their use.[44] To a large part, the causes of the Hesse-Boom in the United States can be tracedback to enthusiastic writings by two influential counter-culture figures: ColinWilson and Timothy Leary.[45] From the United States, the Hesse renaissance spread to other parts of the world, and even back to Germany: more than 800,000 copi

    es were sold in the German-speaking world in 19721973. In a space of just a few years, Hesse became the most widely read and translated European author of the 20th century.[43] Hesse was especially popular among young readers, a tendency which continues today.[46]

    There is a quote from Demian on the cover of Santana's 1970 album Abraxas, revealing the source of the album's title.

    Hesse's Siddhartha is one of the most popular Western novels set in India. An authorized translation of Siddhartha was published in the Malayalam language in 1990, the language that surrounded Hesse's grandfather, Hermann Gundert, for mostof his life. A Hermann Hesse Society of India has also been formed. It aims to bring out authentic translations of Siddhartha in all Indian languages and has al

    ready prepared the Sanskrit translation of Siddhartha.[citation needed]

    One enduring monument to Hesse's lasting popularity in the United States is theMagic Theatre in San Francisco. Referring to "The Magic Theatre for Madmen Only"in Steppenwolf (a kind of spiritual and somewhat nightmarish cabaret attended by some of the characters, including Harry Haller), the Magic Theatre was foundedin 1967 to perform works by new playwrights. Founded by John Lion, the Magic Theatre has fulfilled that mission for many years, including the world premieres of many plays by Sam Shepard.

    There is also a theater in Chicago named after the novel, Steppenwolf Theater.

    Throughout Germany, many schools are named after him. In 1964, the Calwer Herman

    n-Hesse-Preis was founded, which is awarded every two years, alternately to a German-language literary journal or to the translator of Hesse's work to a foreignlanguage.[47] There is also a Hermann Hesse prize associated with the city of Karlsruhe.[48]

    In his time, Hesse was a popular and influential author in the German-speaking world; worldwide fame only came later. Hesse's first great novel, Peter Camenzind, was received enthusiastically by young Germans desiring a different and more "natural" way of life at the time of great economic and technological progress in

    In the 1950s, Hesse's popularity began to wane, while literature critics and intellectuals turned their attention to other subjects. In 1965, the sales of Hesse's books by his publisher Suhrkamp reached an all-time low.
